I face challenges
With optimism bias
Life is amazing
Category: Daily Haiku
I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
My goal: to post at least one haiku a day.
Spring’s Decadence
Here’s spring’s decadence
Glorious colors, riches;
Wealth beyond measure
Today in Edmonds
Into the expanse
Blue water, sky and mountains
Converge in sunlight
Nature’s not mocked
Nature’s not mocked
For she holds all the power
We are but trifles
Now Friday is here
Monday’s pain now past
The other days have blurred by
Now Friday is here
A monsoon-like rain squall
In the morning dark
Intense rain’s forceful pounding
Rattling gutters
I awoke this morning to an intense downpour. More like the Philippines or Florida than Seattle.
Evening Lightening
Flickering briefly
Lightning burns across the sky
Jagged movements blur
Updated: spell check got me, changing “lightning” to “lightening”
Strangeness surrounds us
Strangeness surrounds us
So much unbelievable
Such a crazy life
Busyness
Mindless reaction
Chasing after to-dos
Lost within motion
Zen Mediation
As the mind quiets
The sound of nothing roaring
Emptiness fills me
